i should not be here

Back at work and I should not be here, had to cover a shift that needed covering till 11pm. I did have a plan for tonight and it would have taken me out to watch a friends band play at the Night and Day, they were playing for some sort of contest and the prize was to get to play at a festival. It would have been nice as it has been some time since I had see this group of friends and I like there band. So anyway at work and here till 11pm, sure I mentioned that but it worth mentioning again, during the time I get free and this amounts to not a lot of time I pop out side for a bit of fresh air as being in one room for 12 hours it get a little stuffy, so after one of my trips outside I come back up just to find someone has been sick outside my door! Not nice and even now it has been cleaned away the smell give me that reminder. You know it’s not the fact its 12 hours in one booth or the fact its till 11pm but it’s just a little shit that it had to happen on a night I had something nice to do.

Anyway rant over let’s talk good things, I'm going to Budapest! Yep and I can’t wait, well I don’t have to wait as I go in the 28^th of this month. I'm only going for 3 nights but I'm sure I will have enough time to get everything done I would like to do, it a little birthday present off my wonderful girl friend.

Birthday! I will be 28 this time round but not feeling like 28, I think they are all just numbers and you are as old as you feel, my wonderful girl friend is only 22 so there is roughly 6 years difference but you would not even know, I don’t ever see it. So she is older than her age or I'm younger, well they do say girls are more mature than boys.

One thing I would like for my birthday is a new watch, being a projectionist time is very important and the right time is more important so knowing this I got a Kinetic watch never needing batteries ever and for the last 9 years it has done me well until about 2 months ago and the time would be wrong when I got out of bed, once the capacitor starts to go that's it as it no longer has enough charge to get through the night, but it has got worse, if I stop for more than 30 mins (even typing) it just stops until I start to move again. You never know I may get a new one someday, lets hope.

Superbad Premiere

We had the premiere of the new film from Seth Rogen called Superbad, I got chance to watch it last week and I have to say I did enjoy it. We last saw him in Knocked up which was a good film but I think Superbad was better. Anyway we got to do the premier with a Q&A after the film with the 3 main actors from the film (Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and the night went well apart from some stupid question and a bit of a broken Mic.

Well after we did a good job we got some tickets for the after show party and after a long day it was a welcome idea to go get a drink so off we went. Once there we got 3 free drinks which was nice and what was even nicer was another 3 free drinks half way through the night, after 2 hours and 6 pints I was done especially as I had to be back to work in 8 hours and god did I feel rough the following day, rough but well worth it.

I think Cinemec had a good night with the Zoo Girls!

Movie Watch

So I have some movie reviews to catch up with as for the last few weeks I have seen some amazing films so let me share thease with you.

Harry Potter 3D

Manchester Imax is showing the latest installment of Harry potter on a screen 85 feet wide with 14,ooo wats of sound and I can say it is like no other screen you will see. Now I'm not the biggest harry potter fan and I would say the other 4 film have got better as time goes on, I don’t read the book and I'm not excited about what happening but I will watch the films. So now on to this film and what a film, the visual effects are fantastic and have come on a long way from what we saw in the first harry potter. The acting is well…still somewhat wooden from the younger members of the cast but again it’s a nice change from what I thought were card board cut outs in the first movie but now you start to see some life and emotion. For me this is the turning point in the film and they have now become something epic, a step up in the film world. The story is something which sucks you in and keeps you moving alog at some speed and just when you think you have an idea off it goes again. I think you get something different if you had read the book, I'm not sure of that will be a good different or bad different though. The 3D was good and better that i have seen in full leangh films but only the last 20mins, its still worth seeing it.

I'm 27 and have seen a lot of film and this was the first time I ever wanted to be a wizard.

Ok Next film

The Simpson

Well all know and love the Simpson, if you don’t there is something wrong with you as it been with us for what feels like birth and now it has made the big jump from small screen to the BIG screen and you know what, even though it’s the same length of 3 back to back episodes it’s a dam good film. I had reservations as for me it had to be something good and not what I watched on tv the night before, it looks different as its not in CGI but still holds 90% of what you would expect Simpsons to look like but it now has more of a shine to it, the story is good but not excitingly new, and its funny, even very funny but this is what I expected it to be. I cant see this film wining any awards and after a few weeks its will just disappear until you see it at Asda for £9.99 but I dare you not to enjoy it, just try not to.

Die hard 4.0

So he is back, vest and all. Its good, it is. I sat there and enjoyed all of it, its fast, explosive, funny and nothing new. I cant explain it but there was nothing there to get you really excited. Maybe that’s what they wanted. I could not sit here and pick any holes in the movie, good cast, strong acting, a true die hard story, enough explosions and gun fights to keep the most hard core fan happy, the sexy bad girl, the slightly unbelievable action scenes, car chases, John beaten to a pulp but still fighting. You see its all there and its all pretty predictable but good. I would not say this is a bad movie and if that’s what you fancy on that night go and see it and I bet you enjoy it just not as much as you would have hoped.

Transformers.

Well its been a Long time coming and this would be another of the films I have been looking forward to and after a shaky start to the summer movies no thanks to the fantastic 4 upsetting effort we see Transformers hits the Big and Digital screens.

If like me you remember watching the cartoons many many years ago you may have had your own Idea of what it would all look like as a live action film and from the first teaser trailers from about a year ago to the main big trailers I have been very excited to see this film and I did, not just any old 35mm copy but I got to check it on the digital projector which Odeon have in the Printworks, now there are films out there which look good on the DLP but some that look just like the 35mm counterpart but Transformers looks hart stopping, the so bright and color full even to the extent off when I was checking it in last night to a full screen when the digital kicked it there was a gasp from about 150 people, its that good!

Now on to the film, well I don’t think I have the words, for me it was a blockbuster, not a big summer movie a blockbuster like we used to get. Its been a very long time since I sat in a screen for 2 ½ hours and had so much fun and excitement. The graphics of the film are just awesome and at no point did I sit there and not feel any of it, the acting is surprisingly good seeing as they used some small actors from some major roles. Its wonderful getting you on the edge of your seat with anticipation and then pushing you back with explosive action scenes as you hold out hope that good can overcome evil. this was the most enjoyable film I have see this year and I would recommend this to anyone. Now I want to be a Transformer!

Night in (out!).........In (Out!)

How do you define when you are starting to get a little older and more responsible? It’s not easy just to point out one action I think, that was until last night when I had the chance to go out to what would have been a good night. But I didn’t! Why not? Well I had to be at work in the morning and if this had been a normal morning I would have still gone out but the opening weekend of Spiderman meant this would be a big weekend. So maybe I would feel good that I took the higher ground let’s say, you know deciding to be responsible would make me feel good about it, well not, I spent all night wishing I was out and even had a few beers to try and make me feel better but to no joy. So lessen is if you have the change to go out now and you don’t feel the ‘responsible’ thing just go out and enjoy it as it’s not going to last forever, trust me.

ps going to do a re install on my laptop, may be the last time we see each other, wish me luck.

my back holiday weekend in a nut shell

Well hallo bogspot land and all the little bloggers who live here, everyone have a good weekend? Hope so.

For my weekend I made my way over to Liverpool to go out with some friends at a good night spot called Liquidation, its 5 mins from the docks and is a really good night out. To start the night had a few drinks in Magull and then got the train in to Liverpool and made our way to liquidation, now this is where the story takes a twist so look out for it. After having many many drinks and spending most of my time on the dance floor the night started to come to an end, people went off getting their coats and alike, one of my friends was dancing the few remaining minuets he had left to the onlookers of the bar staff and one of the door staff due to his wonderful and unique way of dancing. Nothing strange here you see, this was until the member of the door staff through some sort of piece of plastic at my friend which to me looked like he was trying to be big and clever in fount of the bar team, this piece of plastic flew through the air and hit my friend on the side of his head with enough force to make him lose balance. Now at this point I was not a happy camper and despite what you may think in my drunken state I was calm, relaxed, not abusive and not angry, so in my calm, relaxed, not abusive and not angry state of mind I make my way over to the group of staff and asked the door man for his name or badge number as I was going to follow this up, as you may have expected he declined in a abusive way, so I turned to ask the members of the bar team who were there and this is where I get hit in the side of the head by his radio and then pushed back! Yes hit in the head! What a fuck whit! Now at this point there was 2 bigger door staff behind me taking me to the exit, I would like to point out that at that time I was still calm and relaxed and didn’t put up any struggle as it would have been useless.

So once outside I had a chat with the head door man who was not very help full and again didn’t want to give any names or badge number.

Now this door staff must be such a idiot or lucky enough that’s everyone he has picked on has not been as keen to see social justice as me because I promise you now I plan to rain a shit storm so big he will think twice about being big and clever again, So to start is a letter to the manager of the venue with every last detail, next is to contact the people who license door staff and make a complaint, next is a complaint to the local council from licensing to the health and safety executive and last but not least a complaint to the Liverpool police, Now please don’t think I will exaggerate the event or my injuries which are not severer and I don’t expect the police to have enough to go on for caution or conviction nor do I think I will get the justice I believe I'm entitled to which by the way would be me hitting him with a radio in front of his friends but this is so if anyone else has the same problem this will have been logged and action may be possible next time round. I also think one letter about this incident will just get put in a pile of other people who are not happy after being kicked out but after my letter should be other letters and phone calls from the other parties I have complained to which brings a real sense of severity.

And to be honest this didn’t spoil the night, nor the idiot spraying people in the face once outside or my girl friend losing her phone or forgetting her keys meaning waking her mum up at 4am to get in, with all this it was a good night.
